Maybe you don’t know that Flamengo is one of the world’s biggest soccer club in both men and women team, and recently they have a eSport team, and overtime Flamengo became one of the top league of legends team in Brazil.
February 2019, Flamengo eSport Tweet account shared a victory that they had, and nobodies would expect that a Flamengo Counselor got trigger afther that.
Marion Kaplan, one of the counselor of Flamengo sport clubs, she went on twitter and calling the eSports player special need nerds who just spent hours in front of a screen. She was upset that Flamengo was focused their effort on eSport team instead of promoting their women’s soccer team. Her original tweet said: “Who would of thought, huh? Flamengo promoting a nerd from the worst kind, symbol of anti-sports, anti-physical activity, and NOTHING about women’s soccer! Not even a line…”
Team Liquid pro and Brazilian, Rafael ‘Rakin’ Knittel, responded to Kaplan, calling her words “aggressive and close minded.”
“Hi Marion All right? I have seen your remarks that I consider to be very aggressive and of closed mind, but instead of attacking you I would like to ask you to talk and open your mind a little to try to free yourself from this ignorance. I await your reply.”
Kaplan responded to Rakin, but said “it’s too late” for her to change her mind.
“It’s too late. I’ll do everything to end LoL. My first goal was to report the neglect of almost every sport on CRF (Flamengo), while LoL is promoted. But since the violent attacks and mass threats (nothing close to what I said) I see how badly LoL needs to be extirpated.”
Flamengo’s executive director later sued Marion for “moral damage”. It is unsure if the lawsuit was successful.
